UP plus 2... don't waste your money
It's not really bigger, the total perf size is 140, but if you try to print to that, you hit the clip things that hold it in place, rather than safely limiting it in software like the mini so you don't hit the rails. You do lose a little height though, but it doesn't come close to justifying the 2X price jump. _________________ ( •_•)
I'm currently working on adaptor rings for speaker boxes to fit larger speakers to a smaller opening. They ended up being 135x135, so i printed them in three pieces and made pegs and holes to join them together. Works great as long as they are oriented along the z axis, other directions dont print quite accurately enough to be a push fit afterwards unless you make them quite large _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam

Perhaps we need to catalog all our bots that we can get running in less than 2 months time and then plan an event around that? I can get two feathers running and perhaps a sportsman. If I can figure out how to balance it's drum, I can have an ant going as well. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

I can have Catastrophe, Das Boot or Hammerhead running on fairly short notice, and if we're doing ants I can probably whip some 3d printed garbage up fairly quickly also. _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam

Well I have a beetle in a box somewhere which just needs a battery, and my ants around. Could potentially have some form of feather running in a while. But don't have a lot of spare time over easter or a particularly setup workshop just atm.
My closest would be NC assuming I can unmelt the dewalt.
I'm a ways off having another beetle although the idea is appealing to me. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

WELL, can do feathers / sportsman at jeffs, or we can do beetles at Andrews workshop then scrap the arena up the road assuming the polycarb isnt completely opaque now.

Get that new flipper working and then you have something to bring over to the UK next year
I will start working on Scissorhands and will find a guest driver.
@Jake: which model DeWalt is it? I have some 'new style' spares I'm not using. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Definitely! 12 years without a holiday, might have to make it happen next year
So what class is everyone keen for, beetles at andrews or full on feathers/sportsmans at jeffs if the arena is still up (hope so haha). I'll provide robots for whichever. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

I am all fired up for featherweights and if I can get Scissorhands running OK, I will devise some way to select a guest driver for it. If Jeff is OK with it, I have the time to tart up the arena up during week days and maybe fix up the lighting.
Hmm, perhaps I should hand Scissorhand's controls to Jeff for the event? Nice compensation for invading his house... _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Sounds good i think we could have 6 robots without too much fuss One of the guys at work definitely wants to give it a go too i reckon.

That's excellent. Perhaps we can work out a format for giving new builders a demo of existing bots? Throw in some e-waste with Demon or Scissorhands and watch a printer get destroyed - that would have to raise enthusiasm for new guys. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion
